 Uploads may appear to not be working on mastodon.social as of right now because the processing queue is delayed by 12 minutes. The file does get uploaded but the processing happens only 12 minutes later. The delay is caused by the workload of restoring home feeds of people who've come back after a long absence. Today is answering press inquiries, helping old users get back into their accounts, and trying to make sure our infrastructure keeps up with the load. I am looking for more moderators for mastodon.social. Please e-mail staff@mastodon.social if you are interested, but please only apply if you have consistently been here for a while.

@Gargron I’m just checking out mastodon. Does mastodon have a way to sustain the costs if there is a significant migration from Twitter? If there’s a good article on this you can point me to I don’t expect you to give me a whole answer here but I’m curious.  I am feeling a pickup in people returning to their accounts (and asking for help with login).

@Gargron ...same here. I'm pretty sure I found my account I created back in 2016. However, I can't remember which e-mail address I used. Is there a way to recover from this situation? Would love to use my 2016 account...  @Gargron Did the old public profile page go away? The one that prominently featured my social links and featured hashtags? This is the only one I can find: Here we go! Changelog for the upcoming 4.0 version. Please mind we still have to go through a release candidate at least. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#unreleased

  The song and the video... I love it! Telling this Devin Townsend song is epic is like saying that this Pizza has cheese on it. ;-) Devin Townsend - Lightworker @Gargron i just searched for something #devintownsend because that's what i do sometimes in new places cause it's probably my favourite artist ever and i just instantly see the platform founder talking about him lmao

 @Gargron I didn't even know about this as of about 5 days ago, and now this lovely haj keeps showing up everywhere... In my opinion there's nothing you can't do with #ActivityPub. You want DIDs? You could do DIDs. You want "curation and moderation" to be a separate layer? You can do that. You want "big world" networking? You can add that. Do not confuse what implementers have chosen to do so far with what the protocol is capable of. #ATP

 @Gargron Hello Eugen. Are there any plans to add E2E encryption and private messaging? I guess not.

@Gargron I have the same Pro-Ject turntable. I purchased it years ago and I wanted to upgrade the cartridge to the 2M blue, but I never did.

 @Gargron i dont understand why companies like thermaltake think putting fans up against glass is going to do anything When a traditional social media site shuts down (G+, app.net) your entire social graph is scattered to the wind - to other proprietary systems that don't interoperate. When a Mastodon server shuts down, you just import your follows list into a new account.

I don't understand why people seem to expect that if they sign up here they must get famous instantly or it's a failure of the platform. Did you not spend years growing your network on Twitter?

@Gargron I have roughly half the followers here as I do on Twitter (it's taken me years to get to 53 there), but I think some of them are bots. No complaints on that end! @Gargron I don't know how to social. I am here to see cool stuff and cool people's projects.  I've updated mastodon.social and mastodon.online to the latest code in the main branch. You can follow hashtags, translate posts, and the UI is the same for logged in and logged out users (though keep in mind the logged out version is not entirely complete).

@Gargron NOT being a jerk here, but is this intrinsic to the way Mastodon (archives?) the home feeds? Or do you mean "refreshing" the home feeds of those who haven't visited in awhile.
@Gargron Amaze 👍
@Gargron Hi. I'm liking the fediverse. I get a Oops, an unexpected error occurred when I try to upload pictures or videos. Is this an user error 😂
